Abstract
Choroid plexus carcinoma in an adult case is a very rare tumor and difficul t to differentiate from metastatic tumors. The authors report a case of a 4 9-year-old female with choroid plexus carcinoma who previously had multiple carcinomas. In this case, synaptophysin immunohistochemistry proved to be extremely helpful for the histological diagnosis.
